    Aluminum alloy is used in a variety of products like cans, foils, kitchen utensils, and airplane parts due to its light weight and corrosion resistance. Stainless steel has domestic, industrial, transportation, medical, food processing, and general uses. The amount of carbon in carbon steel determines its use, with low carbon steel used for fencing, medium carbon for buildings, and high carbon for springs and wires. Brass is used for tools, musical instruments, sculptures, and fasteners in explosive environments due to its non-sparking properties. Copper is integral to building wiring, plumbing, and transportation as it is highly conductive and resistant to corrosion.

    1.

    Aluminium Alloy
    Aluminium is used in a huge variety of products including
    cans, foils, kitchen utensils, window frames, beer kegs and
    aeroplane parts.

    2. Stainless Steel
    Domestic cutlery, sinks, saucepans, washing
    machine drums, microwave oven liners, razor blades
    Architectural/Civil Engineering cladding,
    handrails, door and window fittings, street furniture,
    structural sections, reinforcement bar, lighting
    columns, lintels, masonry supports
    Transport exhaust systems, car trim/grilles, road tankers, ship containers,
    ships chemical tankers, refuse vehicles
    Chemical/Pharmaceutical pressure vessels, process piping.
    Oil and Gas platform accommodation, cable trays, subsea pipelines.
    Medical Surgical instruments, surgical implants, MRI scanners.
    Food and Drink Catering equipment, brewing, distilling, food processing.
    Water Water and sewage treatment, water tubing, hot water tanks.
    General springs, fasteners (bolts, nuts and washers), wire.
    3. Carbon Steel
    The various uses of carbon steel depend on the
    amount of carbon added to the alloy; for instance,
    carbon steel with the lowest amount of carbon is
    called wrought iron and is used for things like
    fencing. Medium-carbon steel, also called mild
    steel, is the type of steel that is used for structural
    purposes in buildings and bridges. High-carbon
    steel is used for springs and steel wires, while ultra-high carbon steel is
    called cast iron and is often used to make pots.
    4. Brass
    There are many uses for brass, from hammers and
    tools to musical instruments. Brass has been used
    for thousands of years to make weapons,
    sculptures and even armor for warriors. In
    manufacturing areas that contain explosive fumes,
    materials or liquids, brass is commonly used to
    make fasteners that will not spark and potentially
    create an explosion
    5. Copper

    Presently, copper is used in building construction, power


    generation and transmission, electronic product
    manufacturing, and the production of industrial machinery
    and transportation vehicles. Copper wiring and plumbing
    are integral to the appliances, heating and cooling
    systems,and telecommunications links used every day in
    homes and businesses. Copper is an essential component
    in the motors, wiring, radiators, connectors, brakes, and
    bearings used in cars and trucks.

    6. Bronze
    Bronze metal is used in doors, windows, mail boxes,
    trim, furniture and rails. A type of bronze called
    statuary bronze is a popular medium in outdoor
    sculptures.

    7. Alloy
    Applications of aluminium include transportation, electrical applications,
    construction and medicine. High altitude flying
    would not have been possible without aluminium
    as it posses properties that can withstand high
    pressures.

    8. Zinc
    Zinc is used in zinc galvanizing, which is the process
    of adding thin layers of zinc to iron or steel to
    prevent rusting.

    9. White Cast Iron


    When the percentage of carbon is from 2.0 to
    2.5, cast iron possesses extreme hardness but
    also becomes brittle. In metal works where
    hardness is desired and brittleness can be
    tolerated, white cast iron is most suited. It is
    used extensively in the production of machine
    parts.

    10.Tin
    It is used in coating insides of pipes used for conveying
    drinking water. It is also plated insides cans used to
    conserve foodstuff due to its high resistance to
    tarnishing.
